“Not busting your chops.”

Just curious, but what are ‘chops’?

Depends on context. Pork chops you likely know, in music, "chops" is comfort/technical proficiency wih an instrument. "Bust your chops" is slang for a punch (bust) in the mouth (chops). The slang is also used to signify criticism, short of a punch in the mouth.
